New Grower My 1st Grow, A journey...

[Panic]

Hey check out DIY charcoal fixtures. I read a thread on here where someone used one of those fans that blow up those christmas blowup things. also there is this ozone plugin its like 20 something dollars that people swear by. Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: GT50 Professional-Grade Plug-In Adjustable Ionic Air Purifier its from this thread https://www.autoflower.org/f44/newbie-tools-what-needed-why-come-contrbute-7445.html

Hmmm Late morning this morning. Girls look fine. The spot I attempted "supercropping" is back to normal. I did not see any signd of a knot forming yet, there is just a slight bend, perhaps I did not do it hard enough. It is counter intuitive to hurt the plant. I will be a bit firmer next time.
Watered everyone this morning. I used the recommended dosage for the Earthjuice Cal N Mag of 1ml per L and had a ppm of 190 using aftw pH 5.8. CC 1.5 L BK 1.85 L and BDM 750ml. Having all these bottle of liquid goodness about my mixing table made very hard on my self control! Oh man I kept wanting to add one wonder juice or another to my solution, at least some supercharger! Sanity won out and I only added the cal n mag. Hope this puts things on the right path. Will feed again next week and add the CaMg+ that has no N to the regular feeding and try to keep the moisture level correct. I did spray everyone with absorbalight.
IDS and Panic thanks for the great ideas!! I will do both I think. The little generator by the tent and the ANA bucket at the top of the stairs. That should cover up and/or eliminate the odor and the spousal complaints!!

One thing is for sure dude... those 4 plants are gonna smell awesome once in full bloom!

I have that GT50... it works pretty well and used in conjunction with a carbon scrubber it will do wonders. You do need to be aware of the hazards of the ozone however, it can be some nasty stuff if you breathe it alone. You don't want your cat walking into a large cloud of ozone for instance, so want to be sure it's mixing well into your room air via a fan etc. My grow area is small and the ozone is always wafting past my nose around the closet every so often, which I don't like. It's a tiny unit but can produce a ton of ozone on the highest setting. I also use it in my semi-wet basement to neutralize all the nasty moldy air. It seems to permeate through the floor into my house, just to give you an idea of how powerful it is. Based on your efforts so far I imagine you'll have no trouble finding an optimal configuration.

Another day goes by... Spent some time going through the photos I have taken so far. It is really cool to go through them and watch them all grow. Way cool!
They took the watering well, I think I may be onto something regarding this water stuff.
On another note, I am not sure but I thnk CC may be heading into flowering. I saw some pistils and think there are more than just pre-flowers on these sites. That would be way cool. We'll see for sure in a few days.
nomis, thanks for the input. I bought the gel and the GT 50 today, should be here in a few days. That should keep the wife happy!

Heres CC

BK

BDM

Looks great tell me how that ionic whatever the F&ck it is worked. I forget what day your on. I ve seen people that are using the DWC method and they are way ahead of me in the same amount of days. It made me wonder if i have a late bloomer. It still is irritating that i don't know what kind it is. Where are you located, what is like outside?

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world... The grow looks good, things seem to have stabilized. Hope to see flowers on CC tonight.
Hey Panic, my first girl is 45 days, over six weeks... She was really slow to take off, mostly due to me I think. The hydro stuff always seems a bit faster once the roots hit the water, at least to me.I must say though that the Biodiesel Mass is really on schedule from what I see of other grows... I decided it's all relative and I'm still at the beginning of my journey. For all I love these autos the seem to be a finicky lot, for sure.
I have the GT 50 ozone widget coming by Wed, so I'll be sure to let you know,
Weather round here is miserable, it's that wintery mix crap. Rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow... misery on my 35 mile commute.

I took a look at CC this morning, cannot see flowers, a lot of sites with little leaves and some of those have pistils. I don't think there are flowers yet, pre-flowers most likely. The rest of the grow looks good. They could maybe use some water, I am going to wait until tonight. I am hoping the CaMg+ arrives.
My new pH mete arrived. It says to soak it for a bit to hydrate the sensor, so that is soaking now. Interestingly my cheepie meter was reading 2 tenths high in the calibration solution. So when I pH'd to 5.8 it was closer to 6.0. Not where I wanted it but not crazy off, that is a good thing that could have been worse. My pH is in relatively good shape I just need to watch the Cal Mag and maybe N tox thing that is what I think is a minor issue. To that end they will get a good soak tonight with CaMg+ and supercharger, no N involved in those two. Then will feed regular amount next watering.

The CaMg+ came in the mail today. I mixed up a batch at just shy of 2 tsp /gal that gave me a ppm of 320, to that I added 200 ppm of supercharger and set pH to 5.8 I watered CC and BK with about 1.3L and the BDM each received 600ml. The chemistry of it all is cool. I feel like a mad scientist at work in the lab. The aftw started at 110ppm 7.7pH, I added the CaMg+ to a ppm 430 the pH went down to 5.7 I added supercharger to 630ppm the pH went to 6.2 so I added a few drops of pH down to 5.8 Crazy man!! Nothing I added had any N I hope this does the trick with my perceived cal mag deficiency and possible N tox. Oh and BTW that CaMg+ stinks, whew.
The garden looks pretty good and the BDM are growing very well, CC is doing good and BK look a bit stalled although getting taller now.

Late so only on quck snap. This is Bk (36 days)in the background and BDM (20 days) in the foreground
